Flavor profile

Candy apple and maple aromas, followed by raisin, vanilla and toasted toffee. The finish builds in intensity.

Pairing & serving

Taste neat in a small pour, then add water to open the aromas. Pair with roasted pecans or apple tart. No decanting is needed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
